26th Fix

[Phone call, filtered from NPCs:]

Hi, guys. Before it opens for the season, I was thinkin' maybe I would see about takin' hold of the drive-in so we can watch some good movies for a change. Whattaya think? I know it still ain't all that warm out at night, but any time we get to have a drone-free party is good for me. Hell, we can make a party out of it. Watch a coupla movies, maybe bring some food, and I can DJ afterward... We can maybe build a fire or somethin'. Any ideas? Oh, and since I got hundreds 'a movies in my collection, if anyone has suggestions, I'm willing to hear 'em. Granted, we might not be from the same universe, so I may not have some things you're lookin' for.

[That, and he's afraid he might owns more movies where people in Mayfield star as characters, so he has to be careful. That would be way way too awkward.]


[[OOC - maybe I can put up a log post this weekend or next for this!]]

Quin, if you ever want, we can also project them in the hangar of the Nadesico. It can easily seat a hundred or so and is indoors. That being said, I think at some point we need to merge our media collections.

[technohippie]

True! But there's somethin' nice about being outside at the drive-in, too. Maybe if it's still too cold or it rains or somethin', we can use the hanger. And you're right. With you here, we really do have pretty much anything at our disposal.

[crazyclownwoman]

Oh. Oh! Do you have any Batman movies!

Am I in any?

[Awkward, what is awkward?]

[technohippie]

I.... do. What's you're name? [PRETTY SURE HE KNOWS]

[She knew this would happen. Didn't stop her from sounding nervous when she replies though.]

... Y-yeah, we probably should.

[Filtered]

[technohippie]

Ya sure? I don't wanna be a bother. But I figure... Well, we know what was goin' on, right? The whole thing with the flowers. The town was playin' us, as usual. But lookin' back on it? Well, ya might not feel the same, but I don't regret it, that's for sure.

[of_alderaan]

[Blame Booster Gold.]

This might sound odd, but I've been told that in some worlds, there are movies based on the universe I'm from. Would you know anything about that?

[technohippie]

[There's a pause while he processes this. That's definitely a voice he recognizes.]

U-Um, yeah, there is. Seems like what's reality for some folks is fiction for others. Maybe somewhere, I'm in a movie or a book or somethin', ya know? The thought kinda unsettled me at first, but... Well, if I am, I hope I'm the dashing hero.

[theboytwin]

Do you have any horror movies?

[technohippie]

Oh, you bet, man. Tons of 'em!

Phone

[kettchmeifyoucan]

So... do you have Star Wars? Apparently I'm in it and I want to see what the guy playing me looks like!

[technohippie]

... You ain't bothered by the fact that you're in a movie like that?

[thelonewanderer]

There are good movies? Really? I've only seen the ones here, I figured they were all like that.

[technohippie]

Oh yeah, tons! Yeah, the ones here are really lame. What kinda stories do ya like?

[fairymagic]

You're playing with the threads of reality, you know that?

[technohippie]

...How?

[relic_hunter]

-He's serious.-

What's a movie?

[technohippie]

[It's hardly the first time he's been asked.]

Hmm... How long ya been in town? Have ya caught sight of the television? Or the movie theater?

[ooeeooahah]

Yes, and I think we might need to break into the drive-in kitchen about a week beforehand to see if it's usable.

[technohippie]

All I need is a few minutes to look things over and make friends with the machines. I should be able to set something up to play through the film cameras.

[onepointtwentyonewatts]

Movies? [very very exicted voice]

Have any science fiction movies in your collection by chance?

[technohippie]

Of course, man! Tons. I love sci-fi.

[captainofthe10th]

I am willing to come.

[technohippie]

Awesome. Any genre requests when it comes to movies?

Phone

[jaws5sonofjaws]

One word!

JAWS!

[technohippie]

How did I know you were gonna say that?

[stabbywheelfeet]

What's the occasion? Just bored?

[technohippie]

Pretty much. And things have been pretty crazy lately, so it's always good to have something like this so people can relax.

Phone

[motheringnation]

.....do you have any foriegn movies? ...Eastren European maybe?

[Someday she will be able to see a movie in Ukrainian again...someday.]

[technohippie]

Hmm. I might? Can't think of any off the top of my head, but I'll take a look.

[velesdonnersen]

Count me in! [Bashful hiding as a bit dour.] It's been good learning about your movies. It's been a cultural education. [What he means is the movies are a gas, and he likes having friends. But he's not used to saying this so openly.]

[technohippie]

Ha, well, I guess some movies can be good for that, but sometimes, a giant monster movie is just a giant monster movie.

[punch_illusions_get_harem]

Anything's better than seeing the same stuff over and over again. [ And it'd be a good time to practice parking with a lot of cars around, too. ]

[technohippie]

My feelings exactly. My garage is almost always open for movies 'n' video games too, if you're interested. Visitors always welcome.

[ra_ra_razputin]

We gotta have popcorn! Lots and lots of popcorn!

[technohippie]

Damn right we do. Popcorn, candy, and Ilsa's gonna cook stuff too.

Phone

[kleptophile]

Okay, man, I have gotta see Pitch Black and Die Hard on a drive-in screen. Like, non-negotiable.

...dude, do you think we could hook up video games to it? That would be fucking boss as shit.

[technohippie]

Done and done. I'm thinkin' Clovefield too, since someone had requested some giant monster action.

We might be able to. If not, we can use the computer on board Ruri's ship to play stuff in the big screen.
